Marvel ABC ‘Inhumans’ Sets ‘Game of Thrones’ Iwan Rheon in Major Role

Game of Thrones had so much fun with Iwan Rheon in a nefarious and regal role, so why would Marvel’s The Inhumans want any different? The ABC-IMAX drama has its first star, as Rheon joins Marvel’s Royal Family as brother to Black Bolt, the dastardly Maximus.

The Game of Thrones and Misfits star becomes the first official cast member for the new series, whose Maximus is described as “clever and charming Inhuman that is fiercely devoted to the people of Attilan, especially his brother, the King — though he harbors an intense desire to wear the crown himself.” Said Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb of the casting:

Iwan’s ability to be charming, roguish and still completely unexpectedly dangerous were all the different sides we needed to bring the character to life. We’re thrilled to have him on board.
